Just like death your absence would be
Just like death is time apart
Just like the lonesome river finding her sea
Finding you is finding me
Just like fragments of a former self
Unless in you, I discover myself
Just like a stranger to myself
Unless your arms entwine me
Just like a rapidly sinking mirage
Only to shimmer in your presence
Just like a vessel lost at sea
Yet so securely anchored in me
Just like death your absence would feel
Just like an unspoken tongue
All words seems alien to me
Only silence can whisper my heart desires
Just like petals at dawn
Your eyes sparkle in the mist
Just like a stargazer combing the sky
I search for that gaze
Just like dewdrops shining at daybreak
To fade away as the day begins
Let me shine and fade away
It’s with you my life begins
Just like death your absence would be
Just like death is time apart
Just like the lonesome river finding her sea
Finding you is finding me .
